With Tony Clark gone, it seems like he's taking his job more seriously, even putting on some muscle this offseason to turn more of his hits into home runs. It is kind of sad that Eric Byrnes was our best offensive player last year, but I expect him and Hudson to carry the offense if/when the young guys struggle. As for our young players, it seems like every one of them has a chance to improve drastically, especially when it comes to BA and OBP. You're forgetting that Justin Upton is now a right fielder (he switched positions early in his Minor League career), leaving us with basically 3 center fielders.
